Same problem, here's the output I am getting with your new regular expression: .html="C:\PROGRA~1\Plus!\MICROS~1\iexplore.exe" .htm="C:\PROGRA~1\Plus!\MICROS~1\iexplore.exe" .txt="C:\Program .pl=C:\Perl\bin\Perl.exe .doc="C:\Program .xls="C:\Program .ppt="C:\Program .log="C:\Program .url=rundll32.exe .jpg=C:\PROGRA~1\PAINTS~1\psp.exe .gif=C:\PROGRA~1\PAINTS~1\psp.exe .avi="C:\Program .wav="C:\Program
it's not pulling anything after the space. We need some kind of regular expression that says "Everything up to the first space unless that space is in quotes" This doesn't apply to .html because the association is using the short path (at least for me) but for those extensions that use the long path, it's a problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Thomas Unix Systems Administrator Lockheed Martin EIS ยท Denver Data Center 303-430-2281 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Sean Healy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 15, 2001 9:55 AM To: perl-win32-gui-users@lists.sourceforge.net; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] Getting the browser Tim- Thanks for the suggestions.

'\S' matches any non-whitespace character, including quotes. I ran it on my system and it works. > Also- How is Win32::TieRegistry different from Win32::Registry? The Win32::Registry documentation says this: NOTE: This module provides a very klunky interface to access the Windows registry, and is not currently being developed actively. It only exists for backward compatibility with old code that uses it. For more powerful and flexible ways to access the registry, use Win32::TieRegistry.
